HIGH SCORERS FROM 2 WAY WITH LINLITHGOW
from MARTIN WATT - EXTERNAL COMPETITION SECRETARY
​
A quick report on the Two-Way competition at Linlithgow this evening.
​
After a close run, with the lead swapping several times, Kirkcaldy eventually got the win by 4 points (360 to 356). The scores were very evenly matched, and both sides scored three 20s. Our 20s went to Cathy Davies for "Dilemma", Martin Watt for "Don't Leave Me This Way" and John Martin for "The Undercroft".
​
Thank you to everyone who entered images, and for everyone who was able to travel to Linlithgow for the competition. Top marks went to Linlithgow for the catering!

SPF PRINT CHAMPIONSHIP
from MARTIN WATT - EXTERNAL COMPETITION SECRETARY
Thank you to all our members who travelled to Dunblane for the SPF Print Championship today - 15 in total by my count. I hope everyone enjoyed the day. Each club's score was made up from their top 10 scoring prints.
​
In the colour section we scored 119, coming 17th.
​
Then in the mono section we scored 126 which gave us 3rd place.
​
Our combined score of 245 meant we were in 10th place overall.
Individual scores were good; our highest scoring prints (out of 15) were:
​
14 - "Heading Home" Wanda Mackie
14 - "Not My Bedroom" Rab Kerr
14 - "On Target" Wanda Mackie
13 - "Going Solo" Alan Givens
13 - "Beached" Alan Givens
13 - "Dapple Grey Andalusian" Wanda Mackie
Wanda's print "On Target" was Highly Commended, and her "Heading Home" was awarded a Bronze Medal as a Judge's Choice. Well done!
​
Once again, thank you all for supporting the club's external competitions.

Masters of Print 2024
from MARTIN WATT - EXTERNAL COMPETITION SECRETARY
I have just received an email from the PAGB - look out for the PAGB news on 2nd January. We came 3rd in the UK in the club awards in the Masters of Print!!! And top in Scotland, just above Dumfries!!!This an absolutely fantastic result for the club.I knew we’d have a high score because of the 3 acceptances (as I reported previously - Alan Givens, Wanda Mackie and myself), but this is better than I expected and means that even the prints that were not accepted must have scored highly - so well done to everyone who entered.Here's a link to the preview of the 2nd January PAGB.
